Re: Buck Hillman marriage 1860

Thank you for your reply. I have all the information you gave. Cynthia's daughter, Esther, married Charles Dumbreck Robertson's half brother, Andrew Umphray Robertson. Esther and Andrew had a son, William Hillman Robertson, my paternal grandfather. The "7" in the age bracket for Esther Bosworth Hillman is also a misprint or not a seven at all(compared with other 7s on the census). Esther's birthday was April 10, 1859. It's probably a "1". I will check the Hillsdale County census...another lead, thank you.

An ancestry.com user public tree named the RW Shinnick family tree has a photo purported to be Cynthia Ann and reports that she was born 21 May 1836 in Chautauqua County New York. This tree uses the same 1850 census that I mentioned in my previous response but has her employed as a teacher and living in Hillsdale County Michigan for the 1860 census. It reports that her father Rueben died in 1853 in Janesville Wisconsin. It has her married in 1867 to Charles Dumbreck Robertson in Erie County Ohio.

Re: Buck Hillman marriage 1860

dwych — 2010-03-20 00:47:42Z

I was able to find William W. Hilman age 33 b. NY and Cynthia Hilman age 25 b. NY and their 7 year old child named Esther A. born Wisconsin but labeled as male.
I was unable to find Cynthia, Reuben or Fanny in the ancestry index to the 1860 census for Boone Co., IL. I was able to locate that family group in the 1850 Census in Belvidere and Cynthia is the same age and has the same birthplace as the one 10 years later with Mr. Hillman. I think you are looking for a marriage date around 1853.

Yes, Crystal Lake, Wisconsin, Marquette County. I have a copy of the census.

Re: Buck Hillman marriage 1860

dwych — 2010-03-19 22:05:02Z

Are you sure you found them in Census in Crystal Lake, WI. According to my Placefinder program and the USGS Name server there is no populated place in Wisconsin named Crystal Lake. Lots of lakes with that name. Do you mean Crystal Lake, McHenry, IL?

Buck Hillman marriage 1860

hairba111 — 2010-03-18 09:20:54Z

Cynthia Ann Buck and her parents, Reuben Buck and Fanny Morton lived in Belvidere, Boone County in 1860 per the census. I found her later the same year with William Hillman in Crystal Lake Wisconsin with a child, my great grandmother. There may be a record there or close of their marriage.

I'd love to see whatever you have on Charity's family. Each little bit seems to lead to a new connection. Was her first husband killed in the Civil War? Who was the second husband?

Looking forward to sharing with you!

Re: Charity Wakefield in Boone County

jmlilly43 — 2010-02-08 22:17:58Z

I can give you information on Charity and her two marriages which resulted in two families--the Vanderwalkers and the CAmpbells. Her daughter Emma (Emily)Vanderwalker married James Clark and they moved to Roxbury, Kansas, in the 1890s. So far, I have not uncovered a paper trail for Charity's parents. Your belief that Mary Wakefield might be a Murphy sounds very promising. I am glad to share anything I have or find.

Re: Charity Wakefield in Boone County

SaraBristol — 2010-02-04 07:10:47Z

Yes, it's the same family. I can identify most of the Wakefields from the Belvidere Cemetery transcription, but there are a few children who I can't place.

Re: Charity Wakefield in Boone County

dwych — 2010-02-04 03:58:34Z

Is Abner Wakefield part of this family? He was the plot owner in Belvidere Cemetery for this burial.
LEONARD, ALICE (WAKEFIELD) 1889 0101 54 1943 04 27 OLNEY WITBECK WAKEFIELD, ABNER 3 17 Fifteen or so Wakefields buried together including two Abners.

Re: Charity Wakefield in Boone County

SaraBristol — 2010-02-03 06:35:21Z

Also, yes, both the Wakefield and Murphy families moved from NY to MI to IL. They're entwined for at least a couple generations. Anything you might know about what happened to Charity & her siblings might be helpful.

Re: Charity Wakefield in Boone County

SaraBristol — 2010-02-03 04:14:35Z

Sounds like we're on the same track! The first reference I have for Charity by name is the 1850 census:

Belvidere, Boone Co., IL
Polly Wakefield, 64, NY
Mary A., 37, NY
Abnor, 20, farmer, MI
Charity, 17, MI
Ziel, 16, MI
Eleanor, 13, MI
Leonard, 11, IL
Schuyler, 7, IL
Nancy, 6, IL
Daniel, 3, IL

I believe the oldest woman is Polly (Ide) Wakefield, mother-in-law of Mary. I don't have any "proof" of who Mary's husband was, but from what I've been able to piece together I think he was Bazaleel (Jr.) -- his father had the same name, which I've seen spelled numerous ways.

I believe Mary's surname was Murphy and that she was the sister of Bazaleel Jr's brother Abner's wife Sarah. I know Sarah was a Murphy. And, actually, I'm a Murphy too, descended from Sarah's brother John. I'm not actually related to the Wakefields, but I've researched them extensively trying to piece together my Murphys. I've never been able to find a Wakefield tree, so I've collected all the data I can find from census records, etc. & tried to match everybody up. Since there's a number of Abners, Ziels, Pollys, etc., it's been quite the puzzle! Are you able to do a gedcom file? I'd be happy to send my tree as long as you understand that it's more "notes" than fact.

Re: The Porter Family of Garden Prarie

christinedbarber1 — 2010-02-02 16:17:24Z

Dear Alex,
Thanks for that. Yes it is the same family and Porter Dennes did have a brother Martin, also James Winerals and maybe a couple of others. Strangely I have just sent for the marriage certs. for the three above so wait to see what they show. I am also hoping to go to Norwich records office in April to verify or otherwise what I think I have on the family. As far as I know Susan Porter was born in 1798 and is the daughter of James Porter (1754) and Mary Elizabeth Winerals (abt.1770) Do you know if this is correct? There was a daughter Mary E. plus brothers James, Robert and Thomas?? Although English I now live in Spain. If you would like to keep in touch I will let you know when I find out more. My e-mail address is: christinedbarber@gmail.com

Re: The Porter Family of Garden Prarie

AlexByers10 — 2010-02-02 10:36:15Z

I am fairly sure that this is the same family as I am looking for, however I had Susan Porters husband as being John Dennes - this may be wrong however as the only place I have his name from is Porter Dennes' marriage certificate. I do however have a Martin Dennes as a brother of Porter Dennes. I would be very interested in hearing more about the Porter or Dennes families as I have not got a great deal of detail on this branch of my friend's family but have been facinated by it for several years.

Sorry this is not more help.

Alex

Re: Charity Wakefield in Boone County

jmlilly43 — 2010-02-02 04:57:04Z

I don't have even Charity's mother's surname. I assume the first name is Mary. I'm focusing on this right now and have looked before to no avail, yet. I did find out that Abner Wakefield took out a land patent in Wayne Co., MI in 1831 and the certificate said he was from Monroe County, New York. If there is a marriage record for Ziel and Mary it might be there if it exists. Both Ziel and Mary must be buried in Boone County, IL, but I researched there many years ago and there is no record of their burials. Any thoughts?

Re: Charity Wakefield in Boone County

SaraBristol — 2010-02-02 04:10:50Z

Hi! So nice to meet somebody else working on this line! It's been very rare to find anybody with a connection to these Wakefields so I've put the tree together as best I can.

No, I don't know for sure who Charity's father was. However, I believe it was Bazaleel/Ziel (whose father and son also share this name, adding to the confustion). I would love to share info with you. I'm especially interested in anything you may know about Charity's mother.

Re: The Porter Family of Garden Prarie

dwych — 2010-01-19 02:01:58Z

As far as I know nothing was heard again from Peter Morrit. If you contact the Ida Public Library I think they would send you the section of "Genealogy of the Early Settlers" that refers to the Porters for some reasonable fee. My recollection is that it was a genealogy prepared by a descendant. Alternatively someone who monitors this list and lives in Belvidere may be able to help you get it. Though I grew up in Boone County, I live in Indiana.

If you can provide me with an e-mail address, I can send you a descendant report on the Porter information that I have in my database. There are many descendants of those Porters remaining in the Boone County area and some of them had intermarried with some branches of my family.

I only have three sons as descendants of James and Mary Winerals Porter. I have no information about any daughters. There was in the past an LDS Ancestral File on these Porters e.g. GEDCOM file imported on 21 Apr 2002 www.familysearch.com. ROBIN WOOLSON ABRAMS 8921 SWINTON AVE NO HILLS CA USA 91343-4118. Have you searched the ancestry.com user databases?
I did not enter all of the information in the Ida Public Library Porter information in my database.

Re: The Porter Family of Garden Prarie

christinedbarber1 — 2010-01-18 14:43:09Z

Thanks so much for the post. Were you ever able to contact Peter Morrit re: the letter? I live in Spain so wonder if there is anyway that I can get to see the records held on the Porter family in Boone Co.? My real interest is in Susan Porter,(1798) the sister of James Winerals Porter (1800) who married a Martin Dennes and lived in Walpole St. Peter, Norfolk. Have only just discovered that she was a Porter, but would love to know more about the original Porters in Garden Prairie. According to the info. in the letter I think that the first were sons of Robert Porter - James 1840 and Thomas 1841, but as you say with so many names the same it is confusing. Susan and Martin had a son, my gt.gt.uncle, James Winerals Dennes. He was a draper and outfitter and had a shop in High Street, Kings Lynn. In the genealogy group that I attend I have found that a friend in the same group is a Porter from the same area so we are making a field trip to Norfolk & Cambs. UK in the Spring. Any info. from any source would be most welcome and I am happy to share what I know.

Re: The Porter Family of Garden Prarie

dwych — 2010-01-16 20:58:12Z

There are at least three James Winerals Porters who descend from James W. Porter and Mary Winerals. (Born 1800, 1838 and 1931.) This could make your search confusing.

At the Ida Public Library in Belvidere, Illinois exists Genealogy of the Early Settlers. (14 three ring notebooks in Mar 1999) Family group sheets and others typed information contributed by Helen Williams and Martin W. Johnson and others to the Local History room at Ida Public Library. This includes a section on the Porter family who came to Garden Prairie.

Re: The Porter Family of Garden Prarie

christinedbarber1 — 2010-01-15 15:26:15Z

I realise that it is a long time since you made the posting about the Porter Family.... I also believe that Susan Porter was the sister of James Winerals Porter, but the James Winerals Dennes who you mention in the 1881 Norfolk census is her son. She married Martin Dennes born 1781. She was my 3x grandmother. I hav e on ly just discovered this link in the family as I did not know Susan's maiden name. Like you I made the connection through the 1881 census.

Any more info. you have would be most welcome as I want tp be sure that Porter Dennes abt. 1823 was Susan's son?

I think this is the same Fanny Young that you mention. She was born in Boone County. Married John Joseph Kelly in Belvidere, they moved to Pipestone, MN for a time, then moved to Prairie du Chien, WI. That's where they died. They had my grandmother (although she is my grandmother through adoption only )Laura Almina Kelly. She married my grandfather Aaron Newman, and they adopted my father. I didn't have much information about Fanny's family because she died in 1938, and the obituary I have for John Kelly doesn't list her parents. Hope this helps.

I am looking for anyone aware of the Knowlton Family in Boone Co, Illinois about 1862. I have a photo of an "Irene Knowlton" in my family of whom I know nothing about. The only Irene Knowlton that my research crew can find, is the Emily Irene Knowlton, born about 1862 to William Knowlton, of Boone co, Illinois. William Knowlton is the son of Ephram Knowlton & Sarah Eldridge of Warren Co, Illinois originally from New England. This, Emily Irene Knowlton, is said to have died in Denver, Co.

On my step-father's side, we are from Abram Cronk. I have not located who is parents are either or how is connects to Festus. He was in Boone Co. in the 1865 and 1870 Census. His daughter returned to Belvidere and married Harry Alford/Alfred Ferguson.
